For optimum protection, the driver and
front passenger seat belts are equipped
with pretensioner and load limiting
systems. For both these systems to work
properly you must wear the seat belt
properly.
Pretensioners:
When a collision is detected, the
pretensioners deploy simultaneously with
the air bags.
For deployment details, refer to the SRS
Air Bag Deployment Criteria (page
2-53).
The front seat belt retractors remove slack
quickly as the air bags are expanding.
Any time the air bags and seat belt
pretensioners have red they must be
replaced.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.

deploy when the front passenger occupant
classication sensor detects a passenger
sitting on the front passenger's seat.
For details, refer to the front passenger
occupant classication sensor (page
